Hawaii false missile alert leads top officials to resign
After sending a false alert notifying Hawaiian citizens of an incoming ballistic missile, two of Hawaii’s emergency management officials have been forced to resign. The FBI said the false alert was a result of human error. >> Continued from Samson After hearing the news, Mary Robin, Gambrell’s wife, went to the shelter the next day and came home with Samson. “When I was growing up, my dog, Vanessa, was always with me,” Mary Robin said. “We were very close and it was such a good relationship that I knew I wanted more relationships with Great Pyrenees in the future.” Mary Robin moved around every few months throughout her entire childhood. With her father in the Air Force, there were few constants in her life except for Vanessa. “I didn’t have any siblings, but Vanessa moved with me every time, so that’s one of the reasons I became so close that dog and that breed.”
When Gambrell and his wife took Samson in around Thanksgiving, Samson was only sixty pounds. A Great Pyrenees should, on average, weigh around one hundred pounds. “He was so thin and so afraid of almost everything: cars, stairs, garage doors,” Gambrell said. “He wasn’t used to affection.” After a few months, Samson started to come around, warming up to his family and adjusting to his new life. Yet, Gambrell sensed Samson was still unhappy. “He didn’t want to play. He didn’t eat much. I started reading online, and I read an article that Samson is in the working class of dogs. I realized that Samson needed a job, so that he felt like he earned his supper.” Gambrell learned about

home. He loves running so much that he even runs in his sleep. “I can’t imagine my life without Samson,” Gambrell said. “The therapy work...it’s a win-win for everybody.”

Transgender athletes: unfair to whom? By Krista Prince Staff Writer @Kristaprince_ Gender is anything but simple, and when considering if it is fair to have a trans females competing with cisgender women in sports, it can be easy to think that there is an unfair advantage in favor of trans athletes. In 2016, the International Olympic Committee ruled that transgender athletes can participate in the Olympics without undergoing gender reassignment surgery. Under the IOC guidelines of 2003, athletes who transitioned from male-to-female or female-to-male were required to have reassignment surgery and at least two years of hormone therapy to be eligible to compete, according to the Associated Press. The 2016 ruling made it so female-to-male competitors could compete without surgery or hormone treatments. On the other hand, maleto-female transgender athletes need to show that their testosterone level has been below a certain cutoff point for at least one year before their first competition, according to the Associated Press.
I could see why this rule change has been so controversial and continues to be an issue as more transgender athletes enter the limelight. That comes with being a professional athlete. But that was because I was picturing an athlete with the bone density and muscular stature of a male competing with cisgender women. It seems that the biggest problem in this debate is that female transgender athletes have an unfair advantage because of their naturally bigger stature due to their higher levels of testosterone. According to the Mayo Clinic, testosterone is a hormone produced primarily in the testicles. Testosterone helps maintain men’s bone density, fat distribution, muscle strength and mass, facial and body hair, red blood cell production, sex drive and sperm production. Yet male-to-female transgender women undergo feminizing hormone therapy, where they are given medication to block the action of the testosterone. They are also given the hormone estrogen to decrease testosterone production and induce feminine secondary sex characteristics.
During this process it has been found, as shown in a study published in 2015 in the Journal of Sporting Cultures, that as testosterone levels approach the normal range of cisgender women, trans women experience a decrease in muscle mass, bone density, and other physical characteristics. This is even shown in cisgender men with low or declining testosterone levels. According to the Mayo Clinic, various physical changes are possible as testosterone levels decline, including increased body fat, reduced muscle bulk and strength, and decreased bone density. However, there is still an issue with some trans women who choose to identify as women without undergoing hormone treatment. While that is completely understandable in terms of participating in sports with cisgender women, there would be a legitimate concern, biologically speaking, for an unfair advantage. Nevertheless, with the guidelines set in place by the IOC that should be adopted by all other athletic organizations, there is no advantage for trans women.

Mueller to question Trump
AP Photo/Andrew Harnik Former FBI Director Robert Mueller, the special counsel probing Russian interference in the 2016 election, departs Capitol Hill following a closed door meeting in Washington July 2017.
By Ryan Denson Staff Writer @RD3001 Robert Mueller is closing in on President Trump. How can you tell? For starters, the “law and order” party, the Republican Party, once the bastion of pro-law enforcement in the United States, has launched a bizarre and deeply non-credible conspiracy theory against the FBI. From Sean Hannity to Rep. Devin Nunes to Senator Ron Johnson, the GOP has painted a picture that the FBI has become so marred in conspiracy one would think a pseudo-Illuminati controlled the nation’s most prestigious investigative entity. The FBI, they contend, has become a hotbed of partisanship that seeks to undermine the presidency of Donald J. Trump, and that a “secret society,” according to Johnson, exists deep in its halls to produce faulty FISA warrants to spy on the Trump Administration. The attacks against the FBI, once propagated by the President of
the United States, have now reached all corners of the GOP. The dangerous tone Republicans have taken against the FBI has reached a critical tipping point since the indictment of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and Trump campaign employees Paul Manafort (Chairman), Rick Gates (adviser) and George Papadopoulos (adviser). Sources report that these witnesses have been corroborating with Mueller’s investigation, which renders the White House in the dark as to what is being discussed, unable to craft a response to any allegations made against them. Now reports are showing that Mueller, after questioning Attorney General Jeff Sessions, former acting Attorney General Sally Yates and former FBI Director James Comey, wants to speak to President Trump under oath. Considering the White House has been in the dark regarding Flynn’s, Yates’ and Comey’s testimony, Trump’s lawyers are seeking to protect their boss -- who is known to be a habitual liar -- from scrutiny on the
inside and outside. Now the smearing makes sense. The GOP is running scared. In less than a year, Republicans have gone from praising Robert Mueller as a “patriot ” to accusing him of launching an unprecedented witch hunt. Manafort, who faces felony charges, is suing Mueller and the entire special counsel for overreaching their authority with regards to his criminal indictment stemming from money laundering. Republican members of Congress, including our own Francis Rooney, are calling for a purge of the FBI of those they deem to be “partisan,” which includes everyone they merely perceive to be anti-Trump, and a recusal of Mueller for perceived conflicts of interest. At first, Republicans and Trump supporters alike were steadfast in their assertion that the investigation would not reach the upper reigns of the Administration, but with testimony from Paul Manafort, Reince Priebus, Michael Flynn, Jeff Sessions, Sally Yates, Hope Hicks, James Comey, and soon Steve Ban-
non, the White House has been put on the defense as Mueller looks to question the head of the whole operation, Donald Trump. But the president remains optimistic, signaling in plain terms that he is looking forward to being questioned under oath, remarks that were quickly walked back by an exasperated Ty Cobb, the head of Trump’s legal defense team. The exasperation lies in the fact that President Trump has a penchant for lying, even under oath. In 2007, during a deposition regarding a lawsuit filed by Trump against an investigative journalist, attorneys working for the defendant caught Trump in a lie several times during questioning, and forced him to admit that he lied to the public over 30 times regarding public statements he had made about a wide array of issues. Trump went on to lose the lawsuit. This time, Trump faces losing the presidency should he be caught lying under oath to Mueller’s team. With a series of high profile Trump confidants under his belt, Mueller now feels comfortable confronting
Trump head on. No wonder Republicans are calling for a premature end to the investigation – they know, as well as anyone who pays attention, that Trump is in hot water. One small misstatement could cost him dearly. Republicans know they will be forced to abandon Trump should he lie to Mueller. Lying to the FBI is a felony, punishable by up to five years in prison. It is, clearly, an impeachable offense to the highest degree. High crimes and misdemeanors are riding on the line with an administration already struggling with the truth. And given Trump’s unabashed and tumultuous dance with the truth, the stakes have never been higher. Democrats would rightfully capitalize on a criminal presidency, much like they did in 1974 when Richard Nixon resigned for his role in the Watergate breakup. With Democrats already riding on a wave of anti-Trump resistance, an explosive revelation from the Mueller investigation would only compound the electoral loses facing the GOP.

Eagles earn 10th straight victory
Photo Courtesy of Linwood Ferguson Michael Gilmore recorded his second double-double in three games with a career-high-tying 14 points and career-best 12 rebounds in the dominant 103-70 win over UNF Monday night.
By Matt Rothman Assistant Sports Editor @MattRothman3 Men’s basketball In a match with UNF for the second time in less than a week, the Eagles completely controlled the Ospreys from the beginning for a 103-70 win. FGCU had an allaround performance with eight players scoring at least eight points and five players in double figures led by Michael Gilmore, who finished with his second double-double in the last three games.
Zach Johnson led the team in scoring for the third straight game with 16 points and seven assists while both Terrell and Goodwin had 13 apiece. RaySean Scott scored 12 in his first game back since suffering a concussion. The 103 points are the most in an A-SUN regulation game and FGCU scored the most points in the paint in program history versus a division 1 opponent with 66 points. “I thought we had good balance,” head coach Joe Dooley said. “I thought the guys had good energy
in a short turn around. It’s been a bit of a grind the last week or so with the amount of games we’ve had. Throughout the game, guys kept on giving us good energy. I thought Zack set the tempo on the defensive end getting over screens and really shared the ball well.” The Eagles got off to a fast start with an 13-0 run after Gilmore knocked down an early three and Goodwin and Johnson connected on two straight alley-oops to energize the crowd. Brian Thomas scored
five straight FGCU points after finishing the third alley oop and converting a three point play shortly after. Gilmore continued his dominant start with a put back slam and another three. He had 8 points early on, as FGCU built a 15-point lead. The Eagles would take a 19-point lead after a steal from Johnson and another impressive dunk and would end up being a 27-point lead at halftime, as FGCU shot 59.5 from the field. “Being able to play out through the first half definitely helped me get in
rhythm for the second half and be able to keep that same energy,” Gilmore said. North Florida continued to shoot threes, as they combined to shoot 77 of them in the two meetings this year and outscored the Eagles early in the second half. They would cut the lead to 16 with a little over 10 minutes remaining in the half, but Terrell got going in the second half with 11 early points as the Eagles continued to be in command. The only left question would be if the Eagles
could eclipse points for the first time this season in conference play, which they did after Ryan McAdoo knocked down a jumper to give FGCU a 30-point lead. The team would then go on to win by 33 after a late three-pointer from Josh assisted from fan-favorite Darnell Rodgers. FGCU will have a chance to build off this win when they head to Jacksonville for a second time in a week. This game is set to happen on Saturday, Feb. 3 at 6 p.m. in a matchup with the Dolphins.

By Patrick Clines and Emily Kois Contributing writer and Sports Editor @PatClines @emilykois Swim and dive The FGCU swimming and diving team wrapped up its regular season meets with a close win at home over FIU (7-4) as the Eagles (7-2) won 154-147.

ultimately you learn more about the team from the seconds, thirds, fourths and fifths. Team wins come from depth and the ladies really stepped up today. It was an incredible atmosphere and to send the seniors out with a win like this was perfect. Big thanks to everyone who came out today and made it even more special. Now we refocus and turn our attention to the CCSAs and trying to earn another victory for FGCU.” Freshman Rebecca Moynihan finished first in two of her events as
she finished the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 23.25 and the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 50.64. Other first place finishes in the swimming portion came from Wong, Harris, junior Doris Eichhorn and junior Hannah Burdge. Wong finished the 100yard butterfly with a time of 55.63. Harris finished with a time of 1:04.74 in the 100yard breaststroke.

Eagles remain perfect in ASUN play
EN Photo / Brad Young Erica Nelson (far right) finished with a team-high 14 points along with three rebounds. She made 9-for-10 from the foul line, which signifies a new career-high for the senior guard in made free throws.
By Matt Rothman Assistant Sports Editor @MattRothman3 Women’s basketball With first place on the line between the lone remaining unbeaten teams in the ASUN conference, the FGCU women’s basketball team defeated Jacksonville 63-58. With under two minutes to go, the Dolphins trailed by three but missed four straight free throws and had three chances at tying the game at 61 with a trio of three pointers. They could not tie the game and ended up missing their last five threes. FGCU would hang on for the fivepoint win following a pair of Erica Nelson’s free throws. The Eagles were led in
scoring by Nelson, as she scored nine of her 14 points at the free throw line. FGCU more than doubled the Dolphins in free throw attempts with 31 compared to Jacksonville’s 15. Three others scored in double figures for FGCU in Nasrin Ulel, Rosemarie Julien and China Dow. The Eagles played all but five minutes without leading rebounder Tytionia Adderly, who took a whack to the face in the first quarter and did not return. “It was a very tough game,” head coach Karl Smesko said. “It was probably the most physical game we’ve played all season. I thought Jacksonville played with a lot of energy. They played very physical. We
got fortunate that some of their best players got in foul trouble and we got fortunate they missed some foul shots down the stretch, but we feel good about beating a good team despite getting beat on the boards.” It was a tight game early on as the Eagles and Dolphins were trading baskets. After Dow came in off the bench and Jacksonville’s best player, Jasmine Brown, picked up her third foul, Dow erupted the crowd with a three point play and a corner three to give FGCU an early 13-8 lead. “When we needed a three, we came in clutch with it,” Dow said. Jacksonville responded after a bunch of fouls were called on the Eagles to
take a lead late in the first quarter, but Nasrim Ulel gave the Eagles a one point lead after a three pointer in the final minute. The Eagles opened up a six point lead after Dow knocked down another three but before the half would end, LaKaris Salter banked a three pointer home as time ran out in the first half with FGCU up by one point, 32-31. The Dolphins shot the ball a little over 44 percent from the floor and without Adderly they were outrebounded 23-11 in the first half. They would eventually out-rebound the Eagles 4219 in the game. Jacksonville started the second with four early points to take the lead for the first time since the early
stages of the game, but Taylor Gradinjan converted a three point play to tie the score at 35. Nasrim Ulel soon after hit a three and Lisa Zderadicka made a lay-up to give FGCU the lead once again. Julien doubled that lead as the shot clocked expired with an NBA three pointer to push the lead to six. After a technical foul was called on the Dolphins, Julien converted both her free throws and Nelson was fouled after the technical and she knocked down both her free throws for a fourpoint possession. The Eagles went into the final frame up nine after Nelson made a three as timed expired in the third quarter. The lead expanded to
10 to start the quarter, but the Dolphins scored five straight. They would continue to fight back into the final two minutes down by three, but FGCU would hang on for the five point win thanks to a strong couple of minutes from Nelson. “I just try to do everything my teammates need me to do,” Nelson said. “If it is scoring that night, I try to do that. If it is stopping their best defender, I just try to do everything they need me to do.” With a highly anticipated rematch coming on Feb. 3 in Jacksonville, the Eagles will have one game in between them as they face off against UNF on Thursday, Feb. 1 at 7 p.m.
>> Swim and dive continued Eichhorn finished the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 56.03. Burdge won the 200yard freestyle with a time of 1:51.68. Eichhorn, Burdge and Moynihan finished first in the 200-yard freestyle relay along with junior Gracie Redding. On the diving portion, the duo of freshman Melissa Novak and Megan
Wakefield did their part in the one- and three-meter dives. Novak finished first in the three-meter dive with a score of 305.60. Wakefield also finished third in her dive with a score of 281.50. In the one-meter dive, Wakefield finished third with a score of 264.30, however Novak did not compete in the event.

Men’s soccer adds to coaching staff
EN Photo / Brad Young The FGCU men’s soccer team has added Ian Spooner to the coaching staff as an assistant coach. Spooner recently just completed his fifth season as the head coach of the San Jacinto College South men’s soccer program.
By Emily Kois Sports Editor @emilykois Men’s soccer Following his first season as the head coach of the FGCU men’s soccer team, Jesse Cormier and his staff announced the addition of Ian Spooner to the coaching staff as an assistant coach. A Houston native, Spooner recently just completed his ninth season overall with the San Jacinto College South soccer team. Spooner finished his fifth season as the head coach of the men’s soccer program. Spooner served three years as an assistant coach working primarily with goalkeepers and defenders.
He was also the interim head coach in 2012 before earning the head coach position in August 2012. Spooner also served as an adjunct professor during his time as the head coach. Last season San Jacinto held a record-breaking overall season record of 13-4-1. In Spooner’s four seasons with the program, the coach went 53-22-2 overall. During Spooner’s first season as head coach in 2012, the team went 12-4-1 overall and 6-2 in conference play. Spooner coached three players that earned NJCAA or NSCAA recognition including Jose Seoane, who was named a NJCAA
second-team All-American, NSCAA first-team Allregion and the team’s newcomer of the year. In the 2016 and 2013 seasons, he led the team to the NJCAA Final Four, finishing third in the nation. Spooner also coached five All-American players including, Roberto Diaz, Derick Gonzalez, Prince Ihencaho, Ricardo Olaya and David Koloko. These players all went on to sign National Letters of Intent at four-year colleges or universities. From 2008 to 2012, Spooner was an assistant coach under then head coach David Santesteban. He was a part of the most successful season in
program history, assisting the team to becoming the national runner-up in the 2008 NJCAA (2nd in nation). Spooner also coached the National Player of the Year and four AllAmericans. He worked primarily with goalkeepers and defender and assisted in scouting and recruiting of student-athletes. Spooner was also the men’s and women’s assistant soccer coach from August 2006 to May 2007 at Cumberland University of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). He also worked for the Challenge Soccer Club for two years, and four years
as a professional staff coach for Space City Futbol Club. Spooner was more recently the director of coaching for the Texans Soccer Club South. Spooner became a member of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America in August 2012, a US National Soccer “C” Certified Coach in June 2008 and recently earned a BLS Provider Certified American Heart Certification. A four-year starter at Western Michigan University from 2001-2005, Spooner was a valuable goalkeeper for the team. While with the Broncos, he was named the 2004 Western Michigan
University Most Valuable Player and the 2001 newcomer of the year. Spooner also helped the Broncos to the 2003 MAC championship and the 2004 MAC runner-up. Spooner graduated from Western Michigan University in June 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in communication. The Eagles have already begun preseason preparations for the 2018 season, as FGCU looks to earn the conference title and head back to the NCAA Tournament. Last season, the Eagles suffered a tough 2-1 loss against Lipscomb in the ASUN semifinals.
FGCU baseball preseason predictions By Matt Rothman Assistant Sports Editor @MattRothman3 Baseball Coming off the team’s first ever win in the NCAA Tournament, the FGCU baseball team was selected to finish second in the ASUN for the 2018 season according to the Preseason Coaches Poll. The Eagles received 55 total votes with one first
place vote, just eight points behind Stetson. Stetson was predicted to win the conference. The reigning regular season champion, Jacksonville, was selected behind the Eagles with Kennesaw State and North Florida following. FGCU also had a trio of players appear on the ASUN preseason AllConference Team with Gage Morey, Josh Dye and
Kenton Herring. Morey, one of the nation’s best defensive center fielders, is entering his final season with the Eagles. He appeared in 58 of the 60 games a season ago and batted .289 and a .412 OBP. He scored 45 runs including two homeruns during last season. Morey is most wellknown for his game-saving catch versus the eventual
National Champions Florida Gators. One of the Eagle’s strongest pitchers a season ago, the left-handed pitcher Dye led the team in wins with 16 while pitching to a 3.23 ERA. In the ASUN Tournament Dye pitched seven innings, allowing just one earned run. Dye also pitched 1.2 scoreless innings out of the bullpen in the
championship game. For Herring, he is the only relief pitcher to be selected as the redshirt senior took over the closer role midway through last year and pitched to a 1.96 ERA. Herring did not just pitch the ninth innings of games, he also routinely came out of the bullpen for multiple innings. The Eagles return with most of its team from
last season that reached program heights, as the No. 9 team in the country. Last season, the team also swept the state of Florida with wins over Florida, Miami, USF and FAU. The Eagles will kick off its season on Feb. 16 in a double-header versus Eastern Michigan at Swanson Stadium for a four-game series.

Patriots: A novel inspired by FGCU’s campus A look at how a writer’s research at FGCU led to the authorship of his book

Will Kane Thompson is the author of “Patriots”, and spent over a month writing at FGCU.
By Deanna Simmons E&L Editor @lvnarvinam
Will Kane Thompson came to FGCU with low expectations. He’s an author, and he’s spent the last two years researching the political atmospheres of college campuses for his new novel, “The Patriots.” However, he found that FGCU offered far more intel than he expected. “I had no meetings set up. I thought FGCU was going to be a waste of time,” Thompson said. “I think I had planned initially three days here, but immediately things that were in the book were here.” “Patriots” is a mystery novel centered around the political consequences of
a student who sets off a bomb. Thompson said that the similarities between FGCU and the school he had imagined in his book were uncannily similar. “The biggest thing was the students having their own private beach, the crazy guy yelling that ‘you’re all going to hell!’ This just felt like a smaller version of the college that I made up.” Thompson started as a student writing at UCLA, and then continued his journey with “Patriots.” “I was in grad school at UCLA for screenwriting, and I had representation and all of these things and I was trying to get ‘Patriots’ sold as a TV series,” Thompson said enthusiastically, just
beginning the explanation of his journey with the book. “I was basically told by my manager that it was too controversial for someone who was brand new. So as a TV series, it just kind of sat there for a while. It sat there for a few years, but I just couldn’t let go of the story.” When reading about tragedies at other colleges, Thompson knew that this was his chance to write a book that related to important current events. “I was just like ‘This is my novel! I need to write this book,’” Thompson said. “So, I quit an amazing job at Bloomberg and took off for two years to write this novel. I was looking for it to have as much authenticity as possible. So,
I went on this road trip to schools like my undergrad, Clemson, and did focus groups.” What was supposed to be three days at FGCU, for Thompson, became more than a month. The author spent that time writing by the library and observing the events on campus. “When I came here, I just fell in love,” Thompson said. In the book, a student sets a bomb off because of the high political tensions on campus. Thompson said his aim is to examine the motives of extremists. “You’re trying to find out which of these students is gonna do this thing,” Thompson said. “It’s exploring what makes young people go to such extremes. It’s very now,
very sort of the ‘political crisis’ that the next generation will be facing.” “Patriots” is book one in what Thompson hopes will be a series. “Hopefully, if enough people like it, I’ll jump into book two,” Thompson said. “I won’t keep you on edge for the entire series to find out who did it. You definitely find out in maybe the first page or first sentence of book two. Then it turns into wondering if they’re going to get caught.” Thompson is always writing something new and is currently working on other projects as well. For Thompson, the format of the story is of little consequence as long as it lends to the best avenue for telling the story. “I always felt that I was
a storyteller,” Thompson said. “I don’t really care as much for the medium. I think ‘Patriots’ became a much better novel than a TV series. As a TV series, it was more plot driven. I wanted Patriots to be more internal and intellectual, which is so hard to do with a TV series.” So what is Thompson’s advice for the young college writer? “It sounds so cliché, but there is no better advice than to focus on your story. The best thing you can do is really to write that unique story. Try to put things together that haven’t been put together before.”
DIY: Bacon themed Superbowl snacks Chow-down on some bacon-flavored food during the big game By Deanna Simmons E&L Editor @lvnarvinam Super Bowl Sunday is the most anticipated day of the year for football fans. Friends get together and have a huge party with tons of food and a game that’ll probably have your neighbors yelling too. There’s a certain understanding with Super Bowl Sunday that the food will always be delicious. These treats will make sure that your friends are satisfied and, hey, maybe they’ll ask you for the recipe. I give you this week’s DIY: bacon. Because it is the most delicious and talked-about breakfast side dish that can accompany any breakfast meal, bacon has made its way into the hearts of people for its great taste, and now you’ll love it even more with these recipes. The first recipe is for bacon-cheddar pinwheels.
You’ll need one can of Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls, two tablespoons of ranch dressing, one-fourth cup of cooked real bacon pieces or four slices of bacon that have been crisply cooked and crumbled, one-half cup of finely shredded cheddar cheese and one-fourth cup of chopped green onions. The first thing you’ll do is heat the oven to 350 degrees. Unroll the dough and separate it into two long rectangles, pressing each into a 12x4 inch rectangle. Spread the dressing over the edges of each rectangle and sprinkle with bacon, cheddar cheese and onions. Start with the short side and roll up each rectangle, pressing each edge to seal. Using a serrated knife, cut the rolls into 8 slices and place the cut side down on a cookie sheet. Bake the pinwheels for twelve to seventeen minutes or until the edges are brown. Immediately remove them
from the sheet and serve warm. The second recipe is for bacon-wrapped tater tots. You’ll need two cups of frozen tater tots at room temperature, one ounce of sharp cheddar cheese that’s been cut into quarterinch squares, four slices of quartered bacon, one cup of packed brown sugar and one tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley. First, you’ll preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper, setting it aside. Wrap each tater tot and cheese square in a piece of bacon. Drench each in brown sugar and press to coat. Place the tater tots seam down on a prepared baking sheet and place into the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes and turn halfway. Once finished, serve immediately with the parsley. The last recipe is for bacon-wrapped pineapple. For this one, you’ll need one pineapple that’s been peeled, cored and cut in chunks. You’ll also need
one pound of bacon sliced not too thin or too thick, toothpicks, two tablespoons of honey, two tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, three tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce, one tablespoon of fresh ginger, one third cup of ketchup, two tablespoons of pineapple juice and one tablespoon of sriracha. First, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Make sure to cut the raw bacon in half and wrap each half around a chunk of pineapple. Secure them with the toothpicks and place the chunks in a shallow baking dish. Once you’ve done that, combine the honey, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, ginger, ketchup, pineapple juice, and sriracha in a saucepan and simmer for ten minutes, stirring occasionally. Place the baconwrapped pineapple into the oven on a low rack and cook until the bacon is browned and crispy. This should take between 35 and 40 minutes. Once that’s done, baste
and cook for another 10 minutes, then baste again and cook for 5 minutes. For the last 1 to 2 minutes, turn
the broiler on. Once that’s done, carefully take it out serve cool.
